Colts’ Chris Lammons ruled out vs. Texans in Week 18

Colts CB Chris Lammons was ruled out for Week 18.

Indianapolis Colts CB Chris Lammons was downgraded from questionable to out ahead of the Week 18 matchup against the Houston Texans, the team announced Friday.

Lammons didn’t practice all week due to an ankle injury but was still given a questionable tag on the final injury report. He was downgraded Friday, meaning the Colts will have a bit less depth at the nickel position.

The Colts also listed cornerback Kenny Moore (back), right tackle Braden Smith (knee), running back Zack Moss (forearm), left guard Quenton Nelson (ankle) and center Ryan Kelly (ankle) as questionable, but none of their statuses changed.

With Lammons out, it’s likely that safety Nick Cross will take over as the backup nickel behind Moore if the latter plays Saturday night.

The Colts and Texans are set for kickoff at 8:15 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium.

Notes

  • CB Kenny Moore II was inactive in Week 17 but would have started the week as a limited participant.
  • It seems Braden Smith avoided a setback in his first game returning from a knee injury, but he should still be monitored the rest of the week.

Colts elevate CB Chris Lammons to active roster for Week 9

Chris Lammons gets the call-up in Week 9.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated cornerback Chris Lammons from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 9 matchup against the Carolina Panthers, the team announced Saturday.

This move comes as no surprise considering the Colts will be without starter Julius Brents, who was ruled out due to a quad injury he suffered in Week 7 against the Cleveland Browns.

Lammons gets the call-up after Tony Brown struggled mightily against the New Orleans Saints.

With Lammons being called up, the Colts will start Kenny Moore II and rookie Jaylon Jones while defensive coordinator Gus Bradley will have to make a decision between Lammons, Brown and Darrell Baker Jr. for the nickel role.

Colts elevate DT McTelvin Agim, CB Chris Lammons for Week 8

The Colts elevated two players for Week 8.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated defensive tackle McTelvin Agim and cornerback Chris Lammons from the practice squad ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, the team announced Saturday.

Agim gets the call-up to provide some depth on the interior defensive line. With Grover Stewart entering the second of a six-game suspension and Eric Johnson II questionable with an ankle injury, the Colts need some depth at the one-technique position.

Lammons also gets the call-up at cornerback due to the injuries that have hit the position. Dallis Flowers is out for the season due to a torn Achilles while Julius Brents was ruled out due to a quad injury he suffered in Week 7. Also, Tony Brown popped up on the injury report Friday and is questionable due to a rib injury.

Colts sign CB Chris Lammons to practice squad after suspension

The Colts signed CB Chris Lammons to the practice squad.

The Indianapolis Colts signed cornerback Chris Lammons to the practice squad following his three-game suspension, the team announced Monday.

Technically, the Colts had to release Lammons after he was reinstated from the suspended list. They did so and immediately re-signed him to the practice squad, taking the spot of running back Trey Sermon, who was signed to the active roster in Week 3.

Lammons was suspended for his involvement in the beating of a man in Las Vegas in 2022—the same incident Alvin Kamara was suspended for.

Lammons provided depth in the slot cornerback role and on special teams during his month with the team throughout training camp and the preseason. It isn’t clear yet if the Colts have any plans to promote him to the active roster.

Colts placed six players on reserve lists as part of roster cuts

In the process of reducing the roster to 53, the Colts placed six players on reserve lists.

The Indianapolis Colts got their roster down to 53 players ahead of the deadline Tuesday afternoon and in order to do that, a number of players were moved from the active roster to reserve lists.

Being moved to these reserve lists often comes with the consequence of missing games. Whether it’s due to injury or suspension, the Colts wound up having six players transferred to some type of reserve list as a part of the transactions to satisfy the 53-player mandate.

Four players were placed on the Reserve/Injured list, ending their season effectively. One was placed on the Reserve/PUP list, forcing him to miss at least the first four weeks. The other was transferred to the Reserve/Suspended list for the first three weeks.

Here’s a quick look at the players who were not waived or released, but instead placed on a reserve list:

Colts’ Chris Lammons suspended 3 games

Colts CB Chris Lammons was suspended for the first three games of the 2023 season.

Indianapolis Colts cornerback Chris Lammons has been suspended for the first three games of the 2023 regular season after violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy, the league announced Friday.

Lammons, who was signed by the Colts during the first week of training camp, is being suspended for his involvement in a February 2022 incident at a Las Vegas establishment.

It is the same incident involving New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara, who also was suspended three games.

According to NFL rules, Lammons is allowed to participate in the preseason but must go on the suspended list until Week 4 of the regular season. He will be eligible to return to the active roster following the first three games.

The Colts have already had plenty of issues with suspended players this offseason after they released cornerback Isaiah Rodgers Sr. following his violations of the league’s gambling policy.
